Paul Jessup is a critically acclaimed writer of fantastical fiction. Published in many magazines, both offline and on, with two books published in 2009 (short novel, Open Your Eyes and the short story collection Glass Coffin Girls) and third book (Werewolves) to be published by Chronicle in 2010.
Werewolves!
[buy a copy]Werewolves takes the form of an illustrated journal that plunges readers into the life of a high school girl-turned-werewolf as she makes her transformation. After Alice and her brother are bitten by what they assume are large dogs, her journal/sketchbook becomes a place for her to record the changes they start to experience her socially awkward brother falls in with some creepy new friends, and she surprises herself with new strengths and instincts and a suddenly nonvegetarian interest in raw steak.
Glass Coffin Girls
[buy a copy]"As the story moves along, the imagery becomes more and more bizarre and there is a real sense of claustrophobia built up as Lewis loses control of everything around him. I genuinely enjoyed it."- Innsmouth Free Press
Open Your Eyes – Apex Books
[buy a copy]"After only a few bites, the reader sits back, gasping, and reaches for the water glass. Then, eyes watering, he or she dives back in, licking the plate clean and asking for seconds. Think of Samuel R. Delany or Cordwainer Smith. Welcome Paul Jessup to the ranks."- Analog Magazine
